FiLMLaB Update

Monday we’ll make our announcement with the names of the TOP FIVE FINALISTS.

Our LA judges will read and rank these top five scripts.

Film Chair Mary Andonian will personally contact winners to let them know when they will hear from Film Production Coordinator Jackie Blain (who will provide production notes) and Ampersand Productions. (Director Christopher Alley will talk “filmability” angles with each finalist).

Our winner will be announced in early April. Ampersand Productions will film the winning script and it will premiere at the Willamette Writers Conference August 1-3 weekend.

More to come on Monday, March 17! YAY!
